IDGF technical member meeting

Date : September 24, 2014

The 50 organisations and 250 individuals who are member of the International Desktop Grid Federation, hardly get an opportunity to meet other members and discuss common issues and opportunities. This first, large member meeting will be organised around common topics of interest that will be introduced and then discussed. At the end of the day the members will leave with a lot of exciting new ideas for their own infrastructure and donors.
